Weekly Photo Challenge: Trio 2

I looked up yesterday and was very surprised by what I saw.  Now that the leaves in the big tree that grows next to my house are gone, I can see that it holds a huge bird’s nest.  I wonder what kind of bird made it.

I decided to show three views of the nest as a second Weekly Photo Challenge: Trio!

Weekly Photo Challenge: (Extra) Ordinary

To me, close ups always show the ordinary to be extra-ordinary.

Branches Reach for the Sky शखाः आकाशं प्रप्नुवन्ति (Haiku)

 

In an earlier post, I shared pictures of blooms on a tree that is in my back yard.

 

 

I realized later that I wanted to give readers a better sense of the full majesty of the  tree.  It is much taller than my house and covers a significant area in both my yard and my neighbor’s.  I decided I would do that by taking photos of different parts of the tree.

 सौन्दर्यम् उन्नतं तिष्ठति
मूलनि पृथिव्य़ां गभीरं खननमं कुर्वन्ति
शखाः आकाशं प्रप्नुवन्ति

beauty standing tall
roots in earth digging deep
branches reach for sky

 

Do you know what type of tree this is?  (I don’t.)
